We said before that in Western music we have musical notation.

A lot of the words we use in music with our musical notation are in Italian.

The letters looked like clothes hung out to dry on a line and they looked more like musical notation than writing.

这些字母看起来像是挂在一根绳子上晾干的衣服，而且它们看起来更像是谱而不是字。

" High" can also be used in talking about musical notation; we can talk about a high note and a low note – high note up here, low note down here.

“High” 也可以用于谈论符号；我们可以说高和低——高在这里， 低在那里。
